Chapter 285 - See For Yourself (2/2)

Lost my daughter again?

What does he mean by that?

Did by chance I got lost, runaway or...

Don't tell me I die?

Elizabeth observes her father's expression and body language. Fear, insecurity, sorrow and all negative emotions were written all over her father's face. She thought about things for a moment as she puzzled everything.

Could I really have died?

Then, is me hating the full moon related to my death?

”Daddy, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to...”

”Enough”

Lord Knightley only spoke a single word as he left the girl and headed out of her apartment leaving the girl with those cold truths.

For years she has lived in isolation of the truth. She was given freedom, but she was living a life filled with lies of the past. Her mind was all muddled with so much question. She wished to ask her father but fear of the consequences. The fact her father said he was not ready to lose her again struck her.

Did I really die?

By why...

So many questions and so many missing memories... She now understands why she sometimes hears faint voices in her mind wondering if whether or not she was dreaming. Now she realized those voices she heard before were voices from her past.

Am I really Elizabeth Knightley?

Elizabeth's chest tightened by the idea she might not be the daughter of the Knightley and Zhao. She hastily run as she went and chase after her father.

Outside, the man was about to enter his car when Winston's eyes were fixed by the building entrance as if he saw something unbelievable. He turned around and saw his daughter barefooted running towards him.

”Daddy, Am I your daughter?”

Lord Knightley felt like lightning just struck him as if the world around him were slowly collapsing. He shook his head as if he just heard the most obscure nonsensical words ever. He thought to himself if whether his daughter just question her own existence.

As Elizabeth came to a close with her father, she stood a few feet away from him and repeated herself.

”Tell me, Am I your daughter?

Lord Knightley got a handkerchief out and surprisingly in front of everyone. He bites his thumb as blood started to come out. He stained the handkerchief and hand it to his daughter leaving her with a few words.

”See for yourself.”

Elizabeth looked at the handkerchief and her father bleeding thumb. She threw the handkerchief away as she embraces her father. ”I'm sorry for doubting you.”

Lord Knightley sighed deeply as he pinched the skin between his brow. In all the questions his daughter would ask him, he didn't expect one day she'll question their relationship as father and daughter. ”Don't ask such a ridiculous question again.”

”Daddy, I'm sorry... I know you are my father and mother is my mother. Forgive me for being such an insolent daughter.”

”Never mind, go back inside. It's getting late, get some rest.” Lord Knightley said as he planted a kiss on his daughter's forehead as he bid her farewell as he and his personnel left.
